Jetted Fluid System Cleaning Device and Method of Use Thereof
Abstract
One embodiment of a jetted fluid system cleaning device may comprise an inlet port, an outlet port, at least one tube, and a sanitation system. The inlet port is adapted to receive a fluid and may be adapted to couple to a jetted bathtub faucet. The at least one tube may be coupled to the inlet port and adapted to transport the fluid from the inlet port to the fluid outlet port whereupon the fluid outlet port may be adapted to release the mixture to a jetted system intake port. The sanitation system in one embodiment may be operatively coupled to the at least one tube and adapted to insert a cleaning solution to the fluid to create a solution-fluid mixture.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 ) A device comprising,
a fluid inlet port; at least one tube coupled to the inlet port, the at least one tube adapted to transport a fluid from the inlet port to a fluid outlet port, the fluid outlet port adapted to release a mixture to a jetted system fluid intake port; and a sanitation system operatively coupled to the at least one tube, the sanitation system adapted to insert a cleaning solution into the fluid to create a solution-fluid mixture.
2 ) The device of claim 1 wherein, the fluid inlet port is adapted to receive water from a jetted bathtub faucet.
3 ) The device of claim 1 wherein,
the at least one tube comprises,
a first tube, the first tube comprising a proximal end and a distal end, and
a second tube, the second tube comprising a proximal end and a distal end;
the fluid inlet port is coupled to the first tube proximal end; the sanitation system is coupled to the first tube distal end and the second tube proximal end; and the fluid outlet port is coupled to second tube distal end.
4 ) The device of claim 1 wherein,
the at least one tube comprises one tube; and the sanitation system is coupled to a tube center portion without dissecting the tube.
5 ) The device of claim 1 wherein, the sanitation system comprises a venturi flow valve.
6 ) The device of claim 1 wherein, the fluid inlet port comprises,
a generally flexible conduit section comprising,
a proximal end comprising a generally universal faucet interface adapter,
a distal end adapted to couple to a corrugated tubing; and
a faucet coupling mechanism.
7 ) The device of claim 6 wherein, the faucet coupling mechanism comprises, a flexible strap portion comprising a plurality of bores and an extension, the faucet coupling mechanism adapted to couple the fluid inlet port to a jetted bathtub faucet.
8 ) The device of claim 1 wherein, the fluid outlet port comprises,
a connection portion; a suction portion; and a cavity portion, wherein the cavity portion is adapted to receive and allow the mixture to exit the device.
9 ) The device of claim 1 wherein, the sanitation system comprises,
a container adapter section, the container adapted section adapted to couple to the at least one tube; and a solution container adapted to release cleaning solution into the water.
10 ) A method of cleaning a jetted fluid system using the device of claim 1 comprising,
sending a fluid into the inlet port; placing a cleaning solution into the fluid; creating a fluid-solution mixture; ejecting the mixture from the fluid outlet port into a jetted system intake port; and cleaning at least one of a jetted fluid system pipes, tubes and jets.
11 ) A method of cleaning jetted fluid systems comprising,
coupling a device fluid inlet port to a faucet; coupling a device fluid outlet port to a water jet system intake port; drawing water from the faucet into the inlet port; adding a cleaning solution to the water to create a mixture; ejecting the mixture from the fluid outlet port to the water jet intake port; powering on the water jet system; cleaning at least one of jet tubes, pipes and jets with the mixture; ejecting the mixture from the jets; and allowing the mixture to travel down the drain.
12 ) The method of claim 11 wherein said coupling a device fluid inlet port to a faucet comprises,
inserting a jetted bathtub faucet into a fluid inlet port conduit bore; wrapping a fluid inlet port strap around the conduit; decreasing the conduit bore diameter; and securing the strap in a coupling position.
13 ) The method of claim 11 wherein, said adding a cleaning solution to the water comprises,
receiving the water into a sanitation system, the sanitation system comprising,
a solution container,
a container adapter; and
sending cleaning solution through a venturi valve.
14 ) The method of claim 11 further including, coupling the outlet port proximate the jet water intake port by using an outlet port suction portion.
15 ) The method of claim 11 wherein, said cleaning at least one of the jet tubes, pipes, and jets comprises,
flowing a mixture of water and Vital Oxide™ along at least one of an inner surface of the jet tubes, pipes, and jets, and wherein, the at least one of jet tubes, pipes and jets have at least one of bacteria, mold, and mildew adhered to the inner surface; and substantially removing the one of bacteria, mold and mildew from the inner surface; and impeding growth of the one of bacteria, mold and mildew.
16 ) The method of claim 11 wherein, said powering on the water jet system comprises,
drawing fluid into a pump part; and sending water through at least one of jet tubes, pipes and jets.
17 ) A combination comprising,
a jetted bathtub comprising a faucet and a water intake port; a cleaning solution; and a fluid jet system cleaning device adapted to, (i) take water from the jetted bathtub faucet, and (ii) insert the water into the jetted bathtub water intake port.
18 ) The combination of claim 17 wherein, the jetted bathtub comprises a Jacuzzi® system.
19 ) The combination of claim 17 wherein, the cleaning solution comprises one of a powder and a liquid.
20 ) The combination of claim 17 wherein, the fluid jet system comprises a venturi valve.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
